Thanks both to you for the advice. Ultimately, I went with what Cathy suggested. I'm working on printing them to digital files now, but for overall changes, the columnist is the one I want to source. I am up to 93 articles so far and of those, only a single article didn't mention something about my family. I am THAT connected to this county. I don't know how many I have left, but it's been a fun ride so far.
I have not yet begun to attach this to my family so far. That is going to take a lot of time, obviously. One question though is how many files can we attach to an individual? Almost every article mentions my great grandmother and I will use Media to attach each article to each person, in addition to the source. Is there a limit on attachments? Does it slow it down? I'm just trying to get a handle on my list of to dos and potential issues when doing it.
